I once knew a boy who had bled so many times, that he no longer cared for pain. I once knew a boy who rather be bitten than ignored. I once knew a boy who had nothing to lose - and everything to gain. I once knew a boy with salted water in his veins, and ashes of burnt ships in his nose. I once knew a boy who held darkness on a string, and brightness on a thought.  I once knew a boy made of ice shards and scars, who could not care less for the world - but did rather sail than die.

I once knew a girl, who breathed rage instead of oxygen. I once knew a girl, who would never back down from a fight. I once knew a girl who was all diamond shards, to cut like glass and shine like stars. I once knew a girl who lived between heaven and hell, because some of us are neither mortal nor ever living. I once knew a girl, who wished she could live forever - and died the thousand deaths she needed to get there. I once knew a girl who burned like fire, because fire was all she knew.

I once knew a boy born to die - but no force strong enough to kill him. I once knew a boy with wolf howls in his bones, a boy with broken eyes, but a soul as proud as the mountain cat. I once knew a boy with hair like fire. He was only in it to die, but despite ocean spilled eyes, no fight was ever enough.

I once knew a girl, who made the whole universe wail in her search for a crown ... I once knew a girl, dressed in golden and light, who turned everything she touched in liquid fire ... I once knew a girl who drowned in darkness, yet was raised through light

I once knew a girl, who made dreams out of visions, and carried butterflies in her breath. I once knew a girl who danced with her demons, and dressed them up in diamonds and sunlight rays. I once knew a girl, with eyes blind during day, but who saw the most stunning visions during night. I once knew a girl, never afraid.

I once knew a man so whimsical, he could make the moon doubt herself ... I once knew a man, who dreamt of flying before he could walk, and wished his wings into mortal existence ... I once knew a man difficult and erratic, who made darkness look like light.

I once knew a boy, who had to dream to live. I once knew a boy, who loved poppies the most, but not as much a girl made of hopes, and fairy laughter and and miracles. I once knew a boy who could shape shadow cats and silver wings with a mere thought and no touch. I once knew a boy who wandered aimlessly and endlessly because that is what boys made out of stardust do.
